TalkTo can connect the user to any local business for queries, information or reservations.

TalkTo mimics how the functionality of WhatsApp, however, instead of messaging your friends, you get to message any local business for free. It aims to cut down time searching for phone numbers on Contact Us pages or flipping through the Yellow Pages. Users can ask questions or put through any requests with the TalkTo app, whether its getting directions to a store, finding out the opening hours, or making a reservation. If the business is not online to respond to your query, a TalkTo representative will e-mail or call the business on your behalf and will message you back promptly with an answer.
